Chile: Cemento Polpaico, part of Polpaico Soluciones, and utility company Colbún have commissioned a 9.9MW photovoltaic facility in the Santiago region, which the producer has said is the largest private photovoltaic self-generation park in Chile. The facility is located on 12 hectares of the Cerro Blanco mining and industrial complex and features 15,000 photovoltaic modules. The project is designed to produce approximately 21.5GW/yr and will account for 15% of the electricity consumed by the Cerro Blanco plant. The cement plant will now operate with 100% renewable energy, provided by Colbún from other facilities.
